Anyone on here who likes to bang on about how the Yams are much better supporters than us and always back the club in times of adversity should have a quick look at Sickbag this morning. Hysteria, venom and a complete lack of 'seeing the bigger picture'.

I picked up an interesting wee snippet this morning. It seems the guys left behind in Edinburgh to run the place are looking into the implications of putting the club into administration before the brown stuff hits the fan in Lithuania. Their reasoning is that they know the 18 point deduction is coming their way anyway when UBIG goes bust (this week or next) and by jumping the gun they'll get a more sympathetic administrator in Scotland than they would if the Liths take control.
I'm told it'll be Friday or Monday if they do it. Friday would seem more likely as UKIO's administrator is due to make an announcement tomorrow and they need to get in ahead of that.
It certainly makes sense and the source is decent.
Any experts care to confirm if the minions left behind can actually do that?
Now wishing Dundee had scudded us three times.

They could do it if they have the consent of UBIG, the clear majority shareholder. I don't see many advantages to it other than providing some short term protection from creditors. The disadvantage is that it automatically enforces the 18 point deduction, whereas if only UBIG go under I suspect they would challenge such a ruling.Quote:

They may try to argue that although UBIG is their owner, it is not their operator, for example.Quote:

The liths are working for a bank and when was the last time a bank should any compassion? They'll be gone by the end of the season, limp on like Gretna did and its bye bye after that!
All in my humble opinion of course ;)
They might try it , but with the same directors and same bank account it might prove awkward.Quote:

The SPL will surely give them some prize money early if it means they can finish their fixtures as it would be an embarrassment for Scotland if a team in the top flight had to forfeit matches!Quote:

They couldn't scrape together a £1,000 to challenge a red card a couple of weeks ago. Wonder where they will find the cash from?Quote:
